How long would you work a job were you spend an average of 15% of your income just for supplies you need to do your job on a daily basis? Then, also on a nearly daily basis, you have kids that disrupt the classroom so badly that you can't even DO your job!

The sad thing is... the kids know it.

published this year by MetLife Inc. (MetLife Foundation provides grant funding to
Education Week Teacher
, specifically supporting its capacity to engage teachers interactively as a professional community.) The
first part
, published earlier this month, explores views on the urgency and components of preparing students to be college- and career-ready. The second part focuses on differences...
